'Don't be saucy, young fellow, said the landlord, for such he was; 'don't be saucy, or Whatever he intended to say he left unsaid, for fixing his eyes upon one of my hands, which I had placed by chance upon the table, he became suddenly still.
My beloved has been writing to her saucy friend, I believe, all that has befallen her, and what has passed between us hitherto. She will possibly have fine subjects for her pen, if she be as minute as I am. I would not be so barbarous as to permit old Antony to set Mrs. Howe against her, did I not dread the consequences of the correspondence between the two young ladies.
I have brushed my hair, too, so your 'comparison is odious. I have a great mind not to introduce you to Miss Brown just to pay you back for being so saucy."

'No, the Spaniards could never get my religion from me.
His arms went out to her in a sudden, passionate appeal. "Patsy Patsy! Would the name make any difference?" "Why should it?" she cried, with saucy coquetry. "I'm marrying the man and not his name. If I can stand the one, I can put up with the other, I'm thinking. Anyhow, 'twill be on the marriage license the day after to-morrow, and that's time enough."
